Learner choices

Goal: identify audience, purpose and actionable details in Card A. Teacher says: “A notice succeeds when the right person can act. Which exact words make that possible?”

Routes: mark the notice and write two sentences; tell a partner while they record the cited words and your explanation; use three labelled tiles “who / action / evidence” then dictate or caption the message. Alternative domains: Day 1 swaps change the setting without changing the skill. Optional/home: invent a fictional room-change notice on scrap paper; test whether another person can find the action in ten seconds. Move: if learners only copy details, ask “What would the reader do next?”; if they infer an unprinted new time, point back to the unchanged time.
